A full in-tray awaits the new Inspector General of Police as a joint committee of the National Assembly and Senate vets Mr Hilary Mutyambai on Thursday.
Mr Mutyambai was nominated by President Uhuru Kenyatta two weeks ago to replace Mr Joseph Boinnet whose four-year non-renewable term ended mid this month.
Mr Boinnet has since been appointed Environment and Natural Resources Chief Administrative Secretary.
Last week, National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi said that the House will delay its scheduled short recess by a week to join the Senate in vetting the IG nominee.
He will be vetted by the joint committees on Administration and National Security of the National Assembly and Defense and Foreign Relations of the Senate.
The joint committee will either approve his nomination as the country’s third IG under the new Constitution or reject it. If rejected, the President will forward another name for approval.
